Are northern Italians more ancestrally Gallic, Italic or Germanic?

[Columella]

Haplogroup I1, associated with the Norse and Germanic ethnicity, is found more frequently in Northeast Italy, mostly in the bordering regions, and is comparable to the Northern regions of France, heavily settled by Germanic tribes, and even some regions of England. There is also a hotspot in the Padova area in central Veneto:


.

There is a concentrated dark green area of I1 in the south, more or less on the Appennino crest between Abruzzo and Molise. I know Benevento was a Lombard Dukedom. Another one in North west Sicily around Palermo and a slight one on Bologna in the north south of Padova.

The hotspot in Sicily is almost certainly Norman influence. For Bologna i'm not sure but it can be Langobardic settlement.

Cuneo is a very Celto-Ligurian land, more Celtic than Germanic, for sure, but there were also Lombards; Alessandria is a composite province: they have Lombardian influence (Tortona), Ligurian influence (the south, Val Borbera, a genetic isolate, is under Alessandria) and of course Piedmontese in the Monferrato zone. In Piedmont there are plenty of place names in -engo, that indicate a Lombard/Germanic foundation, as in between the territories of Bergamo, Cremona, Brescia and Verona.

My great-grandmother's family was from a small town near Tortona. Now it makes sense that the Lombards settled in that area, since she and her family looked more Germanic than Italic or Celtic.
Thanks for the info.

Does anyone really give a fuck?!

Probably Taifals (or Lombards in the area of San Giovanni Persiceto, between Modena and Bologna).

Funny thing is autosomally, the Norman input doesn't show in Palermo but it does in Trapani.

I thought Piedmontese people would score more Western European.

Do you have any other Piedmontese genetic result? I'm interested. Thanks!

The guy posted by Shazou is from Novara, that isn't historically Piedmontese, is more toward Milan and current Lombardy (they talk a Lombardian dialect, not Piedmontese). Average Piedmontese individuals are more NW. Btw it would be better to delete the name of that Novara dude...

So, the average western Piedmontese would be less northern European than the ones near Lombardia? Do you have any genetic result? Thanks!
